I set up my bike
Thanks! Yes... every bit is a start. :)
I had to change my bike seat soon after I got it. It had this really slim racing seat that was so uncomfortable. Lol. I bought a much wider, more comfortable seat that I'm sure will continue to be a lot more comfortable as I lose weight. It's way better than the old one, but still hurts if I spend too much time on it. Lol.
Stay tuned!! :)

Thanks MJ! I'm the queen of excuses when it comes to exercise. I think it's all about developing a routine, and also genuinely becoming better at it. Having it right in my living room helps remove the barrier for excuses! And the desire to be more fit. Remembering my why. :)

WAY TO GO! Check out some of the great videos they have you can watch while biking indoors. Check out youtube.
I have been wondering about these, do you find it stable and you don't wobble and shake when riding? We only have one bike trail near here and the one I use to ride has been having some crime issues I do not like riding in the streets so I was thinking about one of these. What brand did you buy if I may ask?
HW:330 - GW:150 - MW:118-125
RW:190 - CW:130
Thanks! I like it a lot! I find it really stable... no wobbling.
I bought a basic trainer. It's by Tacx. A model like one of these. https://tacx.com/basic-trainers/
You can find them at any bike or fitness store, and they aren't too pricey. I got mine with the mat included. :)

That's awesome! I wish I had a bike trainer. I have an indoor exercise bike but it's not as comfortable as my regular bike.

I love it. It can be a bit hard on your back tire; some people will get a special bike trainer tire. I haven't, but I'll probably need to repair my rear tire in the spring; it won't stay inflated anymore. Lol
